did any 4u students find this paper hard? (1 Viewer)

[wil123]

Shit yeah i found it hard..

 

[Pwnage101]

no, it was pretty easy

 

[poWerdrY]

I did the integration on q.1 with the sin squared and cos using a substitution, couldn't be stuffed any other way

would i have lost marks for not showing adequate working? i just did it in my head and went straight to (sin^3)/3

 

[cathyjun28]

It's so much better than the 4u one.

 

[miche11e]

thats what i did - it was only worth 2 marks and theres not really much working you can show, so i think you would have gotten full marks.

 

[lost1]

yes i fu*ked that test as well so many mistakes and stupid shit i did would loose me so many marks and then of course the time constrain.... Would probably get 70% there goes my band 6

 

[miche11e]

i dont think so - i think we were almost expected to. Unless they say "Hence" im pretty sure you can do a question however you want

 

[frostysnow]

Yep i think i stuffed it. I think it's harder than the 4U paper. But then i again, i only started studying for this yesterday and only did 3past papers compared to the 15 i did for 4U

I didn't like it, but neither did I think it was as bad as 4U. I'm in one of the higher ranked schools in the state, and most people thought it was pretty hard, even 4U students.

I'll probably get about 60-65/84.

I found it pretty easy but forgot some techniques to do the questions, like that 3D trig question. The supervisor said "pens down" just as I realised how to do it...

And it was too long. I didn't have time to check my answers and only got up to the end of Question 6, skipping some parts of Qs 5 and 6.

I was wondering this too. I found the test pretty decent, just a bit longer than I expected. I didn't get through the first 4 questions as quickly as I wanted to (I was aiming for 30 mins). Most of the people who did 4u were complaining that they'd lost about 9 marks give or take for stupid mistakes, but people who didn't do 4u were complaining about how crap the exam was.

you go to baulko right? 9 marks from just stupid mistakes or 9 altogether?

Yeah I do =/

Altogether. Some guy in the top class was moaning about how he'd lost 9 marks, because he's pretty accurate and generally doesn't make stupid mistakes. I lost 11 marks on the parts I skipped from 4,5 and 7 >< And then I asked people how they went and they were like "ONLY 11 marks?" Oo

Nah, it was Andy. However, Jason will probably write a freaking essay about it on his blog later.

Just figured out what school you go to >_> But yeah, that was a lot better than 4u -__- I'm hoping the cut off for E4 is lower this year
